It is strange how each season of life can be fretted over or embraced and enjoyed. When our four kiddos were young and we were in the hustle of sports and potty training, it seemed that the busyness of the season would never end. Then came the teenage years, loss of loved ones and career commitments took our time and energy. This season of a slower pace is delightful. But I miss the scurrying around to get everyone where they needed to be. The scuffles between siblings and all the incredible trips we squeezed into our ninteteen foot camper van to take leave me with smiles and a heart filled.
Ronnie B got out some old home movies while Tanner and Bethan were here. I love revisiting the moments our chosen family shared. It also brings tears to my eyes as I recognize all that Ryan missed when he left our world too soon. But he gifted us with Dorothy and Elissa and eventually Amalia which fills our days with joy and laughter.
So here is to 2026 the next year on the calendar that will soon be filled with family and friends moments to look back on in 2030. Woah! That is hard to imagine. Hopefully, I will remember to get out my phone and record more of them on digital film. Here is to all of you who gift me with sharing my story and my life. Can’t wait to get back to blogging more consistently in 2026. It is a treasure I give myself for my mental health and to connect with each of you. Thank you.
In Him,
